===Polite===
''Gehiisi''
*"From home" language used with family and friends. It contains lots of ellipsis in language and variation in pronunciation such as elision.


Honorific clitics: ''haa''' + verb-2SG.POL and ''hää''' + verb-2PL.POL
''Ketisi''
*"From town" language spoken with less familiar people and in casual conversations. Mainly the basic form of Aoma perhas with a couple of informalities.


====Anti-honorific====
''Faar'ro''
*"Honourful" language is used when discussing (or being allowed to discuss) with someone who is older or member of a higher social class, it is very important to use polite verbs and pronouns as well as full word forms.


If a person from higher social class is disappointed at you, he might use the anti-honorific ''öö''' clitic. Sometimes it is used after first person verb as self-anti-honorific together with second person honorifics to express respect even more strongly:  
''Hakorasa''
*"Templar" language in which use of polite language, personal pronouns and optative requests is required, and permissive mood is often used by higher people.
*'''Honorific''' clitics ''haa''' + verb-2SG.POL and ''hää''' + verb-2PL.POL are used in front of the verb and/or pronoun to emphasize the status of addressed: ''Sosoltare haaNite?'' (Will You come?) Notice also the lower and upper case letters.
*'''Anti-honorific''' ''öö''' clitic might be used if the higher person is disappointed at you. Sometimes it is used after first person verb as self-anti-honorific together with second person honorifics to express respect even more strongly:  


"May I speak to You, much higher than me."
"Excuse me, may I speak to Your highness."
*''Sovokoman'''öö''' wana haaNeteki?''  
*''Zaurrkomaran, sovokoman'''öö''' wana haaNeteki?''
